I have read in a number of other fourms that the Axiom M3ti is a low cost reference 20 that the sound of both speakers are very similar can any one comment on this?
And how do the M80it stack up to the Reference 100's?
Thanks!

No two speakers ever sound identical, but the phrase "similarly good" comes to mind when listening to the Axiom M3Ti vs. the Paradigm Reference 20. There are differences, mind you, but both are neutral, wide-range reproducers, the Axiom very much less expensive, of course (as you pointed out).

I've not compared the M80Ti and the Reference 100's, so I can't address that question.
